🎴 Pantheons of Power

Put your pride on the line!

In Pantheons of Power, the greatest fighters from across the multiverse have been summoned to compete for the ultimate prize: pride.

This competitive trading card game for 2–4 players lets you build a 40–80 card deck filled with powerful Fighters, Combat cards, and other surprises as you fight to reduce your opponent’s Leader’s pride to zero.

Choose a prebuilt Pantheon or build your own to enter the ring and fight for cosmic dominance.

🔑 Key Features

Every card is useful
There are no dedicated lands or energy cards. Any card in your hand can be used as a resource. Charge your Ki, fuel your next move, or power up your fighter for a big attack.

Pride is always on the line
Combat can happen on any turn. The fighter with the highest power at the end of combat deals damage. If your fighter is defeated, your leader loses Pride. Hit zero and you're out.

Position changes everything
Fighters have four different power values, one on each side. As they rotate, their strength changes. Your fighter’s position also affects what combat cards you can play. Movement matters.

Triggers keep the game fresh
Some cards have trigger effects that activate when revealed. What makes Pantheons of Power different is that the same card can have different trigger versions, or none at all. One version might heal, another might draw. This adds variety to draft formats and gives players more ways to build their style.

Leaders shape your strategy
Your leader sets your Pride total, your starting hand size, and the rules for how your deck is built. Each leader has a unique ability that affects how you play. You can use the leader from your pantheon or pick one that fits your deck better.

🌀 Pantheons from Across Time and Space

Pirates. Robots. Clowns. Fairies. Demons. Wrestlers. Beings of light.
Every pantheon comes from a different reality, and every one plays differently.

A different artist illustrates each pantheon to reflect its origin. The result is a vibrant, clashing mix of styles that brings the multiverse to life.

Build your own pantheon from scratch or pick a prebuilt one and jump right in.

✍️ Why We Made the Game

I’ve always wanted to make a trading card game. Not to chase trends or copy the classics, but to build something I could play with my friends. I wanted a game that scratched the itch for complexity, creativity, and personal style at the table.

I wasn’t interested in making another Magic clone. I wanted a system that could evolve, where every deck felt like an extension of the player. Something with strong mechanics, real choices, and room for expression. No gimmicks. No filler.

It took over 20 years, but with the support of my loved ones and a group of dedicated playtesters, we finally made it. Pantheons of Power is the result. It’s a fusion of my favorite TCG mechanics and my love for Japanese sumo, where spirit, positioning, and fighting style matter more than brute strength.

We're just getting started. Join the community and be part of the adventure with us.

⚠️ Disclaimer

Art for the first four pantheons is currently in production. This is a slow process, and while we won't release the game with AI-generated art, you will see it used in the current playtest cards. We're working to replace all placeholder art as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience and support.
